How Pets for Life Helped Mr. Mendiola Give Duke the Care Every Companion Deserves

This is Mr. Mendiola and his handsome baby boy, Duke.

Duke was given to Mr. Mendiola as a gift from his sister as a puppy. PFL met with Mr. Mendiola and Duke while out on door-to door outreach in December of last year. Right away it was noticed how much Mr. Mendiola treasured Duke.

He referred to him as his best companion.  Mr. Mendiola was eager to have Duke vaccinated at the time that we met them and just two weeks later, Duke was neutered, vaccinated and microchipped free of cost through Pets for Life at PAAC. 

Recently, while in his neighborhood, PFL stopped by Mr. Mendiola’s home to check in on Duke. Duke was seen thriving in his home and as always right by Mr. Mendiola’s side. Mr. Mendiola is grateful for the services and stated he liked that as part of the program, Duke received his vaccines and now he does not have to worry about it. Pets for Life’s mission is to help pet owners like Mr. Mendiola receive basic medical care for their pets. With the continuing support from our community and with the recent expansion of the outreach area, Pets for Life will continue assisting pets like Duke to provide access to resources that would not have  been possible otherwise.
